A Tarzana man was charged Thursday with falsely advertising as a licensed and bonded locksmith, the city attorney’s office said.
Itsik Yass, 34, doing business as Absolute Lock & Safe, faces charges of working as an unlicensed locksmith, false advertising and failing to have a permit to duplicate keys, officials said.

Yass will be arraigned July 10.
